so much for pretending

straight out of some story

you walked in and all your glory

i thought you were perfect for me

i was out of my mind

looked like i was winning

it was the best love i'd ever been in

just when we were beginning

the end you left me behind

and i was looking forward to a happy ending

so much for pretending

i should have known better

than to think of happy ever

after you and me together

i was out of my league

i kept my heart hidden

and now i'm wishing that i didn't

oh

who am i kidding

you weren't even intrigued

and i was looking forward to a happy ending

so much for pretending

it could have been beautiful

if i'd only met you

if i'd only let you know

what you meant to me

and if i could i would

give you a demonstration

of how my imagination

thought it ought to be

so much for pretending

ooh

yeah yeah

pretending

pretending

so much for pretending
